Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
Serves: 4-6
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 10-15 mins
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
1. On medium-high heat, add the olive oil to a Mineral B PRO Carbon Steel pan. As soon as the oil is hot and shining, swirl to coat the pan, then add the halved brussels sprouts. Let the sprouts sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
